Doubtful, Apple today is simply a bigger and more profitable company than Microsoft ever has been. 

But Microsoft has more room for growth. While both Microsoft's and Apple's bread 'n butter are at a decline, Microsoft has made much more moves to position itself to anticipate this decline, Apple hasn't.

 

Besides, my point was both scenarios were stupid and impossible. It seems like you missed that part.

"Impossible" is a loaded word. 

Apple is so big today that they could in theory make a plausible bid for any almost company in the S&P 500. 

The fact is they wouldn't want to because quite frankly there's a reason why they're making more money than anyone else, why spend a ton of your assets on a corporate entity that quite frankly isn't anywhere near as profitable as you are? 

People have been saying Apple is in decline for like 5 years now, yet they just posted their most profitable quarter in history and I believe the 2nd most profitable quarter in financial history period (Fannie Mae is no.1 but that's inflated by a shit ton of government cash).
